Easy Shrimp Alfredo

Being crunched for time, I have to think nowadays of what I can fix quickly, easily, without need for too many ingredients. Here is one of them. My sons and I love shrimps, so I fix seafoods at times, and fix something else for hubby and stepd (or have TV dinner for them).

Ingredients:

1 lb pasta, prepared as directed (I used rotini here, but you can use linguine or farfelle)1 lb large shrimps, shelled 1 each of zucchini and summer squash1-2 tbsp buttersalt, pepper and ground basil leaves1 jar (15 oz) Classico Roasted Garlic Alfredo Sauce1 can (~12? oz -- I forgot to take note) of Campbell's condensed cream of shrimpEnough water to thin the sauce a bit (1/2 cup to 3/4 cup)

Instructions:While cooking pasta, melt butter in saucepan, add zucchini, summer squash and the shrimps and stir fry until shrimps turn pink (about 2-3 minutes). Do not overcook, or shrimps get rubbery. Remove from pan, transfer to a bowl, and set aside. Keep warm,Pour into the saucepan both sauces (alfredo and condensed cream). Add enough water to thin as you desire, stir until boiling. Turn off the heat. Serve on pasta and add the shrimps/veggies on top. Consume immediately.

Filipina wife to an American. Worked prior as an MD, now as an RN.This foodblog is a chronicle of my adaptations in the kitchen to reach a compromise between my adventurous taste buds and my fussy-eater husband's. It also serves as a teaching tool to fellow Fil-Am newbie wives and hopefully will serve as reference that my children (and their would-be spouses) can always look back to in the future.If you get to a post that seems incomplete, click on the title to see the whole post.
